  • Courts 'El Pollo' Carvajal claims that he worked with "the CNI" to avoid his extradition to the United States.

The National Court has rejected Hugo

el Pollo

Carvajal's

request

to be provisionally released with precautionary measures given the "high risk of flight", taking into account that he hid from the Justice in November 2019 and that he has remained on the run until his arrest in Madrid on September 9.

Carvajal had requested his provisional release as a result of the National High Court agreeing to provisionally suspend his extradition to the United States while his request for asylum and international protection was being resolved.

In a car, the magistrates of the Third Section indicate that the defendant not only did not appear before them - responsible for his surrender - once he learned that his prison had been decreed after the decision of the Plenary to extradite him to the United States, but that he remained hidden.

Therefore, imprisonment is the "necessary" precautionary measure.

"There has been an authentic escape from the moment that it has not been brought to justice, regardless of whether it has left Spain, which entails the need to maintain its current prison situation once the extradition has been judicially and governmentally resolved and only pending to materialize with the firmness of the denial of asylum and international protection ", indicates the Chamber presided over by the magistrate Alfonso Guevara.

The court indicates that the unconditional imprisonment is justified to ensure the maintenance of the extradition procedure and, where appropriate, delivery to the United States.

"The suspension of this materialization is, even legitimate, one more maneuver to delay the extradition, which in no way can favor a fugitive such as the claimed Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios," the court concludes.
